If you're flying somewhere with two basses, this is the case to get. If you just want to bring two basses to local gigs it's a tough call between this case and the famous Mono Dual M80 – which I owned and loved for 10+ years before finally wearing it out – which isn't a slam on the Mono, I used it a LOT. The best feature of the Gruv Gear is of course the wheels – but if I were redesigning the case they're also the first thing that I'd change. It's neat that they're removable, but that design also forces them to be closer together and higher off the ground than they would be if they were permanently attached and recessed into the case a little. They work great on a perfectly smooth surface like an airport terminal, but on a rough sidewalk or parking lot the case so unstable that they're practically useless, it flops over onto it's side or back if it hits even the smallest of bumps or dips. The wheels themselves are quite nice though, they're pretty large with very smooth bearings and if they ever go bad they look easy to replace at any skateboard shop. Other good things – the storage on this case is awesome! I can fit a micro head, tuner pedal, DI box, Ipad, cords, etc – everything I need to play a bar gig besides a speaker cab. With the Mono I had to bring the case, a duffel bag full of gear, and the cab. The protection of this case seems fantastic, it's got thicker padding than the Mono and the plastic shell is nice, it probably won't get squished and flexible over time like the Mono did. I kinda wish they'd made it just flat black or grey instead of the cheesy fake carbon-fiber, but it also doesn't bother me that much. The plastic also scuffs quite easily, there's noticeable scratches on nearly every part of it and the bottom corners are worn right through the carbon-fiber-like coating and into the plastic beneath it after just one quick week-long trip to Florida and a handful of local gigs. (See pics – I shot one corner but they both look like that) I'm assuming the damage is mostly cosmetic but I do worry about wearing through the plastic over time. The recessed backpack straps are nice too, when they're zipped in they don't snag on other gear and whatnot when you're sliding it into our out of a car or van full of gear. When used as a backpack it's pretty comfortable, a little more bulky than the Mono but neither one is particularly easy to wear in tight spaces. Speaking of tight spaces, the Mono is a little easier to use on tiny stages where you don't have room to lay it down flat. The Gruv Gear is just a little more awkward to use vertically. If you've read this far you've probably read the specs on both cases, so I don't have to tell you that the GG is heavy, about 10 lbs heavier than the Mono plus all the extra accessories that it can hold. All in all, there's pros and cons to both cases. I'm currently using the GG for all my gigs but I'll probably switch back to the Mono for my local gigs once the snow falls.
